How did you prepare for the interview?

"read POI's articles, read website program description " More from this Member | Report Response

"I talked with a graduate student for a few hours and read up on the program and some of the research. I wasn't as prepared as I probably should have been." More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Access to medical patients, the campus, med school is right next to psych building, research productivity & reputation of the faculty, program secretary is very nice and helpful" More from this Member | Report Response

"The campus and the research/clinical opportunities." More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The clinical training.

Also, only given 10 days advanced notice of interview day. " More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That my POI probably wasn't accepting students. I probably wouldn't have made the trip had I known." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Good program with good reputation. Will train you to be a researcher, not so sure about quality of clinical training. Did not offer a tour of facilities/campus. Impression/vibe is: they are Duke, they know they are Duke, so you cater to and impress them, not vice-versa. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall the interview was good. It was three interviews and then we were just in a waiting room, but it wasn't bad and we did have people pop in to talk with us or take us on tours or things of that nature. I wish I had known about my POI before coming, but what can you do? Also, if you get lost on campus, do not ask people where the Psych building is because no one knows! I found that out the hard way!" More from this Member | Report Response
